The Day Has Come!

The day we have been waiting for has finally arrived!  We are leaving at 5:30pm and couldn't be more excited.  The 9 of us have been preparing and working hard to reach this day and it is so worth it.  Our 10th team member, Nora, will be arriving in Addis ahead of us and we are all looking forward to seeing her again.  Already some of the plans for our time there have been adjusted, but we know that God is in control and whatever He has planned will be for our good and His glory!

We finished the packing with just minutes to spare before heading to the airport.  We have 18 large suitcases and totes filled to the brim with supplies to use for our work projects, gifts for the kids and their caretakers at the orphanage, and of course a few gifts for our wonderful friends, the Wades.  There were so many great items given for these projects.  It was a big job to get therm all packed and filled to the correct weight limit.  50 pounds adds up fast! 

Here we are, outside of the church with our luggage.

Packed and ready to go!
